Message from the mayor

Welcome, athletes!

You’re here at the Jeux de Montréal because you love to move, learn, and give it your all. That’s worth celebrating in style!

Montréal is a great sports city, and we’re proud to support initiatives that make physical activity accessible to everyone, regardless of background or sport.

The Jeux de Montréal offer a unique opportunity to experience sports in a spirit of fun, respect, and camaraderie. For nearly 50 years, they have enabled thousands of young people to discover the joy of physical effort, build their confidence, and share memorable moments with other young athletes.

This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Montréal Olympic Games! I am delighted to see a new generation of Montrealers taking on athletic challenges in the spirit of celebration, pushing their limits, and sharing experiences.

To you, young athletes, congratulations on your participation and determination. Thank you also to Sports Montréal, as well as the volunteers, families, and partners who make these games possible.

I wish you a Jeux de Montréal filled with fun, pride, and great achievements.
